New GTR Owner

[Boomer]

Hej Mean1400, hur går det?
Nej, jag är inte Svensk men jag kan snacka det en bit. Jag bodde i Frillesås, Halland när jag var liten.

Welcome to the forum.
I think the V&H CS One is only available in the USA.
Not legal for road use in the EU.

Hi Boomer.

Thanks for info about the CS ONE. I must check that. What about other exhaust systems? Is there anyone that is "better" than others for the GTR?

Any comment on
- Two Brothers
- Scorpions
- others?

Quality, sound, look, price...?

Regards from Thailand, Koh Lanta.

Two Brothers on mine, quality seems ok and I like the sound, even though it has a sound moderator fitted

Sorry the picture doesn't show it too well

Remus & Beowulf are good too, but others are better equipped to tell you about them, there's quite a few ther makes to choose from

[Mean1400]

You have what I plan to do. Low gel seat, exhaust system and Givi E55.

Does the 2B change the ride in any way? Do you need a Power commander?

Regards

[Boomer]

I have a 2 Bros on mine as well. You will need the PowerTip as they are very loud without it.
PowerCommander is not needed but if you are planning on doing lots of long trips then you may prefer to leave the factory BazookaLauncher on.
On long runs the 2 Bros can get a bit wearing as it drones quite loudly.
Others on here favour the Remus Hexacone and also the Beowulf cans.

If you are in Thailand then I imagine that there are very few rules about what exhaust you can fit.
This is my 1400 with the Two Brothers Titanium fitted.

That's some buttock perch you have George, is it as comfy as it looks?

What make is that seat?

[O.C.]

George is absolutely right on both counts, the Two Brothers pipe is MUCHO loud without the tip, and you won't need any other mods to accomodate it, the bike takes care of any 'adjustment'   

[Mean1400]

Well I don't want to be too load. I really like the V&H CS ONE and found both 2Bros and CS ONE on www.morepoweracing.com. They ship to Sweden for $124.

What about weight? How much does the standard exhaust weight, and what about 2Bros and others?

Is there a good shop in UK for these exhaust?

Regards

- two brothers is too loud. Drones badly on long runs.

- love the Remus Revolution on my GTR.

[O.C.]

just about all (I imagine) aftermarket pipes are substantially lighter than the original spud launcher

Pistole I don't find the "B pipe that bad on long runs, and I have put it to the test on a few occasions

Just my ten penneth

I don't agree with the 2Bros loudness comments, maybe I have a different can (though it looks identical to Boomer's). Or am deaf.

I have had mine for 15,000 miles now, and have never felt the need to fit the powertip. It is only slightly louder than the spud launcher at low revs, still acceptable at 6-7k rpm in my eyes, but wails beatifully like an F1 car when above 7k and hard on it. The popping and burbling at medium revs on a closed throttle is worth the price alone.

Perfect can in my eyes, and causes no problems noise wise to me - even riding through our sleepy village at 6.30am each day.

Martin.

I found my 2Bros pipe to bit a bit too rippy and had to fit the P1X powertip which is the quieter one, supposed to reduce the noise by about 7db over the P1 which reduces it by about 3db.

With the P1X it's lovely and quiet on tick-over and it just takes that loud drone out of it on a rev... haven't had it out for a run yet to see if it's stopped the farting and popping on the overrun though...

sorry about the late reply.. but have you found a exhaust your happy with? if not, I can defo recommend the remus hexacone titanium or carbon. they look and sound the dogs bollocks, another thing I like about the remus is they don't have the conventional exhaust strap instead they have a small bracket thats secured to the rear of the can by small 2 bolts. both designs are hexacone shaped with carbon inlet and outlet caps, check the remus hexacone out on this link.. https://www.remusonline.com.au/bike/hexacone
here is a pic of my hexacone carbon and andys "rossendales rider" hexacone titanium on our bikes. it's just a matter of which design you think would suit your bikes colour best

[viper]

i think his seat is a russel all day long, they are considered to be the best seat money can buy, looking forward to his reply

Yes, definitly nice without the strap. I must check were to get a Remus shipped to Sweden. And the price. Morepoweracing.com has very good prices on V&H and Two Brothers.
